Afro OrientalismAuthor(s): Bill V. Mullen\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Minnesota Press, United States\nImprint: University of Minnesota Press\nISBN-13: 9780816637492, 978-0816637492\nSynopsis\nReveals a century of political solidarity uniting Asians and African Americans\n\nAs early as 1914, in his pivotal essay The World Problem of the Color Line, W. E. B. Du Bois was charting a search for Afro-Asian solidarity and for an international anticolonialism. In Afro-Orientalism, Bill Mullen traces the tradition of revolutionary thought and writing developed by African American and Asian American artists and intellectuals in response to Du Boiss challenge.\n\nAfro-Orientalism unfolds here as a distinctive strand of cultural and political work that contests the longstanding, dominant discourse about race and nation first fully named in Edward Saids Orientalism. Mullen tracks Afro-Asian engagement with [url] imperialism-including writings by Richard Wright, Grace and James Bo.
